Miscellanea

Lists of miscellaneous information should be avoided. Please relocate any relevant information into appropriate sections or articles. (January 2009)

• The album opens with a few chords reminiscent of the opening of the album Darkness Descends by the thrash metal band Dark Angel which was released a few months earlier.
• Fade to Black is also the name of a song by Metallica on Ride the Lightning, and like Metallica's version, it stands at number four in the track listing of the album.
• She Took An Axe relates the story of Lizzie Borden who had been suspected of murdering her parents in 1892. Actually, the song has a jump-rope rhyme written about her at the time as a refrain.
• Der Führer refers to Adolf Hitler, as he was called in Germany during his reign as Reichskanzler of the Third Reich. The lyrics are more or less a story about Hitler, in which the story portrays Hitler in a very negative connotation as being evil and a 'demon'. In no way shape or form were the lyrics meant to be sympathetic towards Hitler or the Nazi Party.
• The album appears in the movie Sleepaway Camp II: Unhappy Campers. In the cabin in the woods, in the sofa between the two corpses.
